Which probably isn't surprising, considering there aren't many books specifically for the birds of Madagascar.
The color plates in this book are in the middle, with numbers which correspond to detailed descriptions of each species before and after the plate section. This can make for a lot of flipping for the casual bird watcher, as you try to match a picture with a description/known region.
However, the behavior descriptions and text are very good. The color plates are high in quality and a pleasure to reference. Importantly, the book itself is sturdy enough to hold togther while being dragged through Madagascar!
It's fairly pricey, but for anyone who's planning to make a Madagascar trip, I'd definitely say it's worth it.
